Title: Cancer Immunotherapy: Promises and Challenges

Biography:
I am interested in developing methods to image anticancer immune responses to therapy. Tumors are often surrounded and invaded by bone marrow-derived cells. Imaging the infiltration of such immune cells into tumors may therefore be an attractive means of detecting tumors or of tracking the response to anticancer therapy...

Title: COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT APPROACHES FOR IDENTIFYING SUBNETWORKS IN METABOLIC NETWORKS

Abstract:
A metabolic network model provides a computational framework for studying the metabolism of a cell at the system level. The organization of metabolic networks has been investigated in different studies. One of the organization aspects considered in these studies is the decomposition of a metabolic network. The decompositions produced by different methods are very different and there is no comprehensive evaluation framework to compare the results with each other...

Title:Could Extracellular vesicles of Microbiota be effective in Epigenomic change?

Abstract:
The human intestinal tract is colonized by a myriad of microbes that have developed intimate interactions with the host.The interactions between gut microbiota and the host involve a complex network of metabolic pathways and of biologically active molecules secreted by intestinal bacteria, some of which are packed into nanoparticles known as outer membrane vesicles (OMVs)…
